WHY Ia 1T

That rheumatism and neuralgia are 10
prevalent? This question has not been
satisfactorily answered, but il is certain
that these diseases are not only the most
painful but among the most common, and
some member of nearly every family in the
land is the victim Of one of these dread
tormentors. Ladies seem TO be peculiarly
liable TO neuralgia attacks, which, in the
form of neuralgia headache, pain in the
back, or nervous pains are of constant oc-
currence. Not until the discovery of Athlo-
phoros had any remedy been found for
either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous
headache, and they were generally con-
coded to he incurable, but Athlophoros
has been proved to be not only certain
cure for these diseases, in all their varied
forms, but safe remedy. If, in the use
Of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely
open, its success is certain, and 10 aid this,
Athlophoros Pills are recommended,
which, while providing the necessary
cathartic, will be found to be valuable
aid to the action Of the medicine. Athlo-
phoros is no experiment, il has been tested
and has proved its wonderful efficacy.
The Athlophoros Pills were originally
prepared as a remedy for use in connection
with Athlophoros, for rheumatism and
neuralgia aud kindred complaints. Used
in connection with that remedy, they are
a certain cure for either of these very COM
mon and distressing discs They have
also been found to he an invaluable remedy
for any and all diseases arising from vitiated
blood or general debility They are es-
pa"ially valuable for nervous debility, blood
poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating,
ieliache, constipation, loss Of appetite,
All al stomach or liver troubles. For
diseases o. women they are invaluable.
These pills are perfectly harmless and may
DE safely used by adults or children.
Testimonials of those who have been
,rei will ne sent free on application.

Henry Georges theories are subjected to a

paper to be published in the Forum for

The Bozeman weekly chronicle., 1887-03-30

If the senses are taken seriatim it will
be evident that they are not parallel in
men and women. The latter possess in a
much greater degree the perfection of the
sense OF touch; those occupations that re-
quire extreme delicaoy Of manipulation,
such as lace making, embroidery, bead
strinFing, etc, are therefore usually fol-
lowed by women. As regards the sense
of hearing, we are not aware of any ex-
perimentS or observations OH the relative
perfection of the sense in the two sexes;
and the same may be said as regards the
sense of sight, which appears to be
equally acute in women and in men. In
the extreme delicacy of taste it is probable
that men excel Whether they do so
naturally or in consequence of the cultiya-
tion of mems palates, is, perhaps, n moot
question; but that they excel not only as
gourmands but also as gourmets may be
accepted as an established fact, and the
accurate perception of the delicate shades
of difference distinguishing different
brands and vintages Of wine is much
more frequently found in men than in
women.
As regards the sense Of smell, some cx-
ceedingly conclusive experiments have
been made by some American sayants
which appear to subvert our preconceived
opinions. The experiments We're per-
formed with prussic acid and other
strongly odorous substances on forty -four
males and thirty-eight females, and it
was found that in nearly all cases the
sense OF smell was about double as acute
in men ms in women. The cause OF the
difference in this matter between men
and women is quite unknown, as is the
object Of the distinctions; but it has one
practical bearing that may be borne in
mind. The employment of strong and
potent perfumes by women may depend
on their less acute sense of smell; and
they would do well to bear in mind the
fact that odors and perfumes which may
be quite pleasant to them may be almost
overpowering and decidedly unpleasant to
individuals of the other sex.-Lopdon

The great staple product of California
Is wheat, Of which about so, 900, 900 bush.
cls, worth more than $4,000, 600, are
raised in a good year, four-flfths of which
are exported. This wheat is almost
wholly raised on large ranches by con,
tract. The wheat grower is no more a
farmer than he is miner or a miller. He
lets out his plowing and seeding by the
acre and borrows money from the banks
to pay the bill, giving security on the
growing crop.
In harvest time contractor comes Oh
the ground with his harvesters, threshers
and separators, an outfit costing as much
as $4,000. lie brings his own crew of
twenty TO twenty-five men, who move
about from place to place, living like
gypsies in the open air. They gather in
the broad fields of grain at the rate of
more than 900 bushels per day, and
leave the crop neatly piled up in sacks, to
which tho rancher has not put his hand
from first TO last,-Youth's Companion.

Men at first begin to make a little; they
find how easy it is; they enlarge their
ambition, and the conception dawns upon
them: why am not one of those who
are appointed to be millionaires ~ In
the beginning of life q few thousands
would have satisfied their ambition. Now
hundreds of thousands seem to them but
morsel. They grow more and more in
tense. Temptations begin to fall upop
them. They begin to be tempted to make
a fortune quickly. A man who is in
haste to he rich does not reflect that he
shall inevitably fall into harm and de-
struction.
You can no more make money suddenly
and largely and be unharmed by 1t than a
man could suddenly grow from child's
stature To mans stature without harm.
There is not gardener who does not
know that plant may grow faster than
it can make wood; that the cellular tissue
may grow faster than the ligneous con.
solidation, and that then 1t cannot hold
itself up. And many lnen grow faster in
riches thnn they can consolidate. This
alone is a reason why men should not
make money faster than they know how
TO organize it, and themselves to it.

LOOK UP.

Look up! the world Is wide. On land and sea,
On ship or shore, there Is no rust, no rest;
A heart throbs outward from each human
breast,
And moves It onward to Its destiny.
What IL its hidden doom must end In death?
Why. meet It bravely, with the honest thought
or no good deed updone, no ruin wrought,
To kill tho hope that soothes dying breath
He who would soar from darkness into light,
And, like lcarus, mount on waxen wings,
Will never reach and touch the golden springs,
That open the gates that close upon the night.
Who rises lifting others up with him,
Is strong indeed. Within his call or reach
Are hands that aid him-hearts that help him
teach
What he has learned himself, and taught to them.
We build our thoughts like mountains to the
clouds,
The mystery Of our being still unsolved,
Save that we know our lives are not evolved
For the sole end Of filling empty shrouds.
